BUSHNILL » (Blected County League President.) At the annual meeting of the New London County Improvement 3 held at the town -hall in this city, on Saturday, Charles P. Bushnell of Nor- wich was elected president for the en- suing year to succeed C. D. 'Whitman of Waterford. In connection with the annual meeting a county corn _ fair was held at the town hall also. There weére many entries and the county farmers made an “excellent showing. The® mesting was called to order at 12 o'clock by Vice President J. D. Avery of North Stonington in the ab. sence of President Whitman, who was a member of the reception committee which met the speaker of the day at New London an descorted him to the town hall. ~ After Secretary Woodbury O. Rog- ers read the call Director B. T. Avery moved that the election of officers’ be take up first. His motion was carried and W. A, Cook of Montville moved that a nominating committee of three be appointed by the chairman. Chair- man_Avery appointed as this commit- tee President C. D. Whitman, Secre- tary W. O. Rogers and Farm Bureau Manager F. C. Warner. A brief recess was then taken to await the arrival of the speaker, Prof. L. A. Clinton, of Washington, D. C., who has charge of agricultural work ca ed on by the government in the western and northern states He, was met at New London by a committee comprising Robert W. Per- kins, president of the Shore Line Elec- tric railway, State Director H. J. Ba- ker, of Storrs Agricultural college. C. D. Whitman of:the-County League and Congressmaa Richard P. Freeman. Upon arrival in the town hall Pres- ident Whitman took the chair and in- troduced Congressman Freeman. Aft- er a brief address Congressman Free- man introduced Prof. Clinton as the speaker of the da Prof. Clinton spoke along agricultural lines and his address proved highly interesting and instruct President Whitman's Report. The shelling contest followed and the meeting then * adjourned until 2.30 o’clock, wh it called to order by President Whitman. Reports were next in order. President Whitman present- ed his report which follow: As we come to our third annual meeting it is a time for review and outlook. The review will he found in our secretary’'s and agent's report. The outlook will be for us toconsider at this session. The amount of work an individual or an organization can do must be meas- ured by physical conditions. .A man ean’t do -the work with a crip- pled body, so-an organization must be ave good working organs and memb But it cannot become the main business of an organization io keep itself alive.

The world is larger than our own farms. ' The world’s markets are larg- er than local markets. These markets are calling for our sweetest cream, our finest butter. r need the milk. Our calves, our chickens, our pigs will pay more than a contract price for all the skimmed milk we can furnish.

I symot pat’:hsw!th the man who rath- er not raise a crop than try to mar- ket it. T know fhat with many men a day’s work out will pay ‘better than the raising of crops and the selling of of them. I know the iron enters many a man's soul when he goes to town to face a frowning market. The remedy? Open a co-operative market. Let one man skilled in buy- Ing and selling take charge of _this market as our representative. Hav- ing provided this outlet for our crops we can plow and plant in faith, cul tivating in hope, and harvest with re- joicing. It will be easy to double the vegetable nroducts of our farms and more than double the money they brong: for the element of uncertain- ty will be eliminated from their sale.

Here in New London county this league can do excellent work with the proper support of its of- ficers, directors and members. We' have had excellent assistance from “the Connecticut Agricultural college in all its branches, and es- pecially from director of extension work, H. J. Baker, and assistant, L G. Davis, which by their advice have contributed largely to our success.

In making his Smith said: It has been an interesting study to one outside the pale of that most an- cient vocation—husbandry— to observe through the privilege of the treasurer’s office the increasing interest, the in- creasing growth, the increasing need and the increasing number of problems to be solved that have come to the Improvement leagye here in New Lon- don county durin its development from the infant of 1914 to: the three year old of today. It was but a yearling when its nour- ishment was directed by a stranger who had been unacquainted with its younger life. Like usual cases of a like nature, the misfortune of the ma- ment proved a blessing for the future, the responsibility of its various mem- bers was commencing to manifest it- self as shown by their requests for the morthly letters of information detail- ing to some extent the sphére of, ac- tivity of its agent-from weeck to weck.

Farm Bureau Recommendations, County Agent F. C. Warner then presented his report, which was pub- lished in The Bulletin Saturday. As farm burcau manager, Mr. War- ner made the following report and recommendations: # At the close of our last financial campaign the executive committee met to hear the reports and consider the work for another yzar. Although the rampaign was successful, it secraed to be the general opinfon that the work was not properly organized tec give the best results, that the financial and agricultural work should bLe more closely connected, that our publicity should bc improved and made syste- matic, that the directors had already voted to undertake more work than the county agent couid possibly carry out To overcome these difficulties it was decided to add to the duties of the county agent the general organiza- tion of the work, with the addition of manager of the farm.: bureau .to his title, that an assistant county agent be secured to assist with the agricul- tural work. Accordingly H. J. Tillson of Morris, N. Y., a graduate of Cornell university, was hired on Nov. £th and ing ir the work. The.first step toward improving the organization will be the enlarring of the board of directors, or. as they are sometimes called, the advisery eouncil, and the placing of mure responsibility on the executive committee. In the past we bave nad one director in each town in the county and one each in Norwich and New London. These di rectors have had the privilege of ap- pointing two assistants te help in the work. I am recommending that this number be increased to as many as there are di<trict communities in each town and that these men with the town directors as irman be known as_the town advisory committee.

This com- mittee should meet at some convenient place in their town at least quarterly for a discussion of matters of common interest and perhaps have farm bureau members meet with them at times. During the past year the full bonrd of directors has held eight meetings and the executive committee has met six times. This is quite an item of expense to these men, and so it is recommended that the full board nn1y| meet quarterly and that the executivej committee meet at least once cach month and more if necessary and have the third line, there should be added, “they shall receive transportation ex- penses to and from meetings éxcept w the full board of directors. nection with the annual meeting of the league there were 126 entries. prizes were awarded as follows: first prize, second prize, $3, E.

To strengthen this committee you are asked to allow them their expenses to and from com- mittee meetings and to pass other amendments to further improve the work. At a recent executive commuit- tee meeting it was voted to make our fiscal year end Sept. 20, to conform to the state committee year and jt was also voted to bring our membership year forward six months from April 1 to Sept. 30, =0 as to simplify the finan- cial work. These changes we feel will greatly improye the work and give us a good start on the new year. We now have an office all our own, the Chamber of Commerce having moved to new quarters, and during the year office equipmert, including desk and files, have been purchased. In the near future we expect to take advan- tage of the offer of the New London Chamber of Commerce and open an office there. During the year 1500 copies of our bulletin of information were printed and distributed - besides 1,000 copies of our court and by-law: and the directors voted to issue a monthly publication to each member as soon as possible. This publication will be started soon and we hope to have the first issue in your hands by New Years. I hope all will feel free to ‘make recommendations toward improving the work, since it is your organization, to be maintained for benefit, and that its employes are your to work for your interests.
